To think passing time with the question posed
And pluck from my ponders what I am not
Reveals an answer from the calm of mind
When my stranger perceptions formulate
To persuade me with inferior choice
And steal the security of what I am
And hold steadfastly to bridges I built
That span the solace of all that I am
When I find what I'm not is unimportant
